Insights from the work
Running better projects
Write it down once
The biggest lie in small business is that you will remember how you did it next time. The fix costs nothing and takes twenty minutes.
Building better businesses
Stop running your business out of your head
Leads, jobs, and vendors living in texts and memory is how a $40K lead falls through the cracks. You need one place you can see.
Building better businesses
Price for the business you want
Cheap quotes feel like winning until you are busy, broke, and resentful. Your real number has to include everything that goes wrong.
About Frank
I've spent about twenty years in and around residential construction: estimating, selling, managing crews, and delivering projects. I run Crafted Kitchens in Houston, build software when the job demands it, and write down what works. Husband and dad first; the systems exist so the business doesn't need me on call every hour.
Partners
I'm a member of The Home Depot Creator program and work with brands that belong in the work I already do. Partners and affiliations
